Settsu no Kuni 88 Henro Temples 摂津国八十八ケ所

- quote -
Settsu Province (摂津国 Settsu no kuni) was a province of Japan, which today comprises the eastern part of Hyōgo Prefecture and the northern part of Osaka Prefecture.
It was also referred to as Tsu Province (津国 Tsu no kuni) or Sesshū (摂州).
Osaka and Osaka Castle were the main center of the province.



During the Sengoku period, the Miyoshi clan ruled Settsu and its neighbors, Izumi and Kawachi, until they were conquered by Oda Nobunaga. The provinces were ruled subsequently by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The regents of Hideyoshi's son soon quarreled, and when Ishida Mitsunari lost the Battle of Sekigahara, the area was given to relatives of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was from then on divided into several domains, including the Asada Domain.
Sumiyoshi taisha
was designated as the chief Shinto shrine (Ichinomiya　一ノ宮) for the province.
During the Sengoku period
Settsu became the main exporting centre of matchlock firearms to the rest of Japan.

In former times, the Kinki region was divided into five provinces:
山城 Yamashiro、大和 Yamato、摂津 Settsu、河内 Kawachi and 和泉 Izumi.

The pilgrimage to 88 Henro temples in Settsu was started by Saint Kekkai 月海上人 in the end of the Edo period.
During WW II many temples were burned down and this pilgrimage has become out of reach. But in 1980 it was revived.

Most temples can be reached within one hour from Central Osaka, which makes this pilgrimage a favorite with Henro Pilgrims.

The main statue of each pilgrim temple is different.

- quote
Taihōji - Great Treasure Temple
This temple was originally the private assembly hall of a Korean monk who came to Japan in 701, the first year of Taihō. The statue of Kannon was his personal Buddha. Kōbō Daishi came here early in the 9th century and rebuilt it after it had fallen into disrepair as no one was staying here to maintain it.

Legend states that at one time the land in this area was inhospitable to growing crops. When Kōbō Daishi was passing through the area, the one lone woman who still lived here begged him for company. He changed the course of the river, bringing it closer to the temple. The river brought fertility to the land and other farmers quickly moved back to the area. Thus the woman had her company.

The sister of Emperor Go-Shirakawa was once chief abbess/nun here during his reign in the 12th century. The temple was destroyed by fire in 1873 but later restored.

The temple is located in the town of Kuma at an elevation of 1,600 ft. and situated in a calm and quiet forest of cedar trees. Note the beautiful Niōmon and a pair of giant waraji.

Frederick Starr notes that between Temple 44 and 45, there is a deep, dark cave where an enshrined statue of Fudō is worshipped.
- source : www.shikokuhenrotrail.com

The main statue is a Kannon with eleven faces 十一面観世音菩薩.
The founder of the temple was 明神右京・隼人, around 701.

芭蕉塚 - 芭蕉33回忌の法要を営んだ際の建立。


source :　mayumi129.blog.so-net.ne.jp

There is a memorial stone for Matsuo Basho in the temple compound. Erected in 1743.
It is called
Shimoyozuka 霜夜塚 "Memorial stone of a frosty night"

薬のむさらでも霜の枕かな
kusuri nomu sarademo shimo no makura kana

I drink some medicine
but there is still frost
on my pillow

Written abound the 22nd (25th) day of the 11th lunar month, 1687.
During his travelings, Basho was ill at the home of his disciple Kitoo 起倒 / 欄木起倒 Atsuta.
Basho had a chronic illness of his stomach and Kito went out to buy some medicine for him.
This hokku shows the feeling of loneliness and desperation of Basho when traveling alone and depending on the kindness of others.

Sasaguri Shikoku Hachijuuhachi kasho （ささぐりしこくはちじゅうはちかしょ）
篠栗霊場 Sasaguri reijo

Pilgrimage to 88 sacred temples in Sasaguri, Fukuoka, Kyushu
in honor of Kobo Daishi Kukai　弘法大師 空海.

One of the three new Henro pilgrimages in Japan.

It has been established by a monk called 慈忍 Jinin around 1835, after he completed the Henro walk in Shikoku. He wanted to give the priests, nuns and villagers, who could not travel to Shikoku, to have a chance to the benefit of a full pilgrimage. After his death, the caritable people of the village 篤志家 continued to support this project.

篠栗霊場の歴史は天保年間、慈忍という人物がこの地を訪れた天保六年に始まる。慈忍は四国八十八箇所を巡拝したその帰りに篠栗村に立ち寄った尼僧であった。四国八十八箇所の開祖たる弘法大師も訪れたと伝わるこの村の者達の困窮を垣間見た慈忍は、その救済を目論みこの地にとどまり弘法大師の名において祈願を続け、やがて村に安寧をもたらしたものと伝わる。このことを弘法大師の利益（りやく）であるとした慈忍は、村の者達に四国のそれを模した88か所の霊場の造成を提案。呼応した村人達の手によって徐々に石仏がつくられはじめ、慈忍が没したのちにおいて、その志を継ぐ村の篤志家達の尽力によって88に達する霊場群が完成、それが今にある篠栗霊場の起源であると伝わっている。なお、明治期、成立した霊場会に対し、一部の寺院が土地建物を買収し、本来の札所とは一部異なる、との批判もある。

- quote
Ten Nights Bridge / Temple of Eternal Virtue
Eitokuji is located between Bangai Temple 7 and Temple 44. While the temple's name is officially Eitokuji, the name used by everyone is Tōyogabashi (Ten Nights Bridge) because of the legend associated with the bridge itself.

Legend has it that while in the area during the coldest part of winter, Kōbō Daishi went from house to house knocking on doors and asking for shelter. However, he was refused everywhere and ended up having to sleep under the bridge. He composed the following verse:
"They will not help a traveler in trouble - This one night seems like ten."

The temple was founded by Kōbō Daishi and a reclining image of him is enshrined under the bridge. Since the time it was constructed, the temple has been destroyed numerous times from flooding. Now it is made of concrete and Kōbō Daishi lies under thick futons. Both the Daishi and the temple belong to the nearby Eitokuji.

The statue of the reclining Daishi is popularly called Nojuku Daishi.

愛媛県西予市宇和町明石201 / 201 Uwachō Ageishi, Seiyo-shi, Ehime-ken



- quote
This temple was founded in the 6th century by Shōchō Enjun ?円手院正澄 , under the orders of Emperor Kinmei 欽明天皇. Later, a 5th generation disciple of En no Gyōja (En no Ozuna) named 寿元 dedicated the gods of the twelve Kumano shrines here and made this the Dōjō of the practice for followers of Shugendō. Kōbō Daishi repaired the temple buildings and Minamoto Yoritomo constructed buildings and donated a Sutra mound (kyōzuka) in memory of the nun Ike no Zenni in the early years of the 13th century.

During the Kamakura Period, the Saionji clan became rulers of southern Iyo and patronized this temple, as did Uwajima Date in the Edo Period.

The temple is popularly called Ageshisan (Brilliant Rock Mountain). Note the reddish roof bricks (Sekishun-kawara).

Note: This is the temple where many pilgrims start if they are coming from Kyūshū or further south. You can see Kyūshū from the hill behind the temple, or as you cross over the mountain coming from Temple 42. The trail over the mountain has been repaired and is now in spectacular shape.

西津軽郡深浦町深浦字浜町２７５ / Hamamachi-275 Fukaura, Fukaura-machi, Nishitsugaru-gun

Founded by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro 坂上田村麻呂 in 807.

Engaku Hoin 円覚法印 in 868 came here on his pilgrimage to the Northern Region
and built a small Kannon Hall 観音堂.

The sacred light which priest Engaku started in the the temple has been kept alive for more than 1000 years to our very day.

The main statue is 十一面観世音菩薩 11-headed Kannon Bosatsu
better known as 澗口観音 Maguchi Kannon

その後、嘉応年間になり鎮守府将軍・藤原基衝公、永正年間には葛西木庭袋伊予守頼清公の庇護（ひご）を受け、藩政時代になってからは津軽家の祈祷所に選ばれ、歴代藩主の手厚いひ護のもと、北前船貿易の華やかな江戸中期から明治中期にかけ、大阪をはじめ日本海の港からの船の出入りが多く、信心深い船主や船頭たちが海路の無事を祈って数多くの絵馬を奉納し、澗口観音と呼びならわされた。

- quote
Engaku-ji temple dates back to the 9th century. The great conqueror, Sakanoue No Tamuramaro, built a temple dedicated to the Kannon (the Buddhist God of Mercy) and put the eleven-faced Kannon into the temple at this place in 807. The eleven-faced Kannon was supposedly made by Shotoku Taishi (who was the greatest prince in Japan in the early 7th century).
After that, a Buddhist priest named Engaku Hoin came here from Nara and rebuilt the temple in 868.
Engaku-ji temple was founded at that time.

沖つ風　吹くや深浦　円覚寺　迷いも晴るる　春の光に
天聳る　杉の梢の　ともり光明よ　沖行く海士の　いのち救うて

During the Edo period, sailors on the Northern-bound trade ships (Kitamaebune 北前舟) came here to pray for safety on sea.
